It sounds easy, but it isn’tConnections categories can be almost anything, and they’re usually quite specific.

If you need a hand getting the answers, we’ve got you covered.

What Is Connections?

June 16th Connections words.

Connections is a game from the New York Times.

The objective is simple: sort 16 words into groups of 4.

Each group of words will be connected by some common idea or theme.

June 16th Connections groups and words.

That common element could be anything.

Sometimes they’re references to economics, other times they reference fairy tales.

There is no telling what sort of association there will be between words.

Once you’re confident you understand the connection, select 4 words, then hit “Submit.”

You have only four attempts in total, so don’t be too guess-happy.

June 16th was a decidedly average game, but did have a few words that jumped out.

That threw me briefly.

The first word I latched on to was country.

Quickly skimming the words, I settled on the last definition.

That led me to bush, sticks, and woods.

Those four words were in the Green group, “Remote Rural Area.”

Next I looked at state.

State originally threw me off a little, since it is similar to country.

Those 4 words were in the Yellow group, “Current Situation.”

The group, Blue, was titled “Classic Lawn Ornaments.”

That left fairy, fish, folk, and tall.

Purple was just “____ Tale.”
